QuickLaunch and Carahsoft Partner to Expand AI-Powered Identity and Integration Solutions Across Higher Education and the Public Sector

Miami, FL | Nov 11, 2026: QuickLaunch, the AI-powered Integration (iPaaS) and Identity (IDaaS & ILM) platform purpose-built for higher education, today announced a strategic channel partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®. Through this partnership, Carahsoft will serve as QuickLaunch's Master Government Aggregator®, expanding access to QuickLaunch's identity, access management and integration solutions across public sector and higher education organizations.

Under the agreement, QuickLaunch's Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) and 500+ pre-built integrations will be available through Carahsoft's reseller partners and established procurement contracts. These include The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt.

"Carahsoft is an essential part of QuickLaunch's strategy to support more than 2 million student logins by the end of 2027," said Raymond Todd Blackwood, President of QuickLaunch. "Their expertise in navigating complex state procurement requirements, combined with their marketing and account teams, gives us the reach and connections to help more higher education institutions deploy secure, seamless student experiences."

Built specifically for higher education, QuickLaunch connects identity and integration around the academic lifecycle rather than retrofitting enterprise technology for campus environments. The platform supports more than 200 institutions and 1.2 million daily users, providing identity and integration infrastructure designed for the higher education technology ecosystem.

QuickLaunch's platform supports institutional systems and applications including Ellucian Banner, Colleague and Canvas. Its integration platform offers a no-code workflow builder and more than 900 pre-built connectors, while its identity suite provides SSO, adaptive MFA, automated provisioning and deprovisioning, and identity lifecycle management from applicant through alumni.

The platform's security and compliance framework includes SOC 2 Type II, HECVAT, TX-RAMP, GLBA and NIST requirements. Through Carahsoft's established procurement channels, higher education and public sector IT teams can more easily access and deploy these capabilities through purchasing pathways they already know.

"We are pleased to add QuickLaunch to Carahsoft's cybersecurity portfolio and expand the solutions we can offer to Higher Education and Public Sector organizations," said Brian O'Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. "QuickLaunch's purpose-built approach to identity, access and integration addresses critical security and technology needs across Higher Education."

The partnership represents an important step in QuickLaunch's growth strategy, helping institutions simplify technology procurement while modernizing identity management, strengthening security and creating more connected digital experiences for students, faculty and staff.
